PI/PO Developers not only like to do end to end development but always would like to see or want to know how does an end to end installation be like. When I searched for any new installation specific to PI/PO I could not able to find. Hopefully this will help to some personnel who are in search of it.
Scenario: Install PO 75 in distributed landscape like SCS, Database and application servers on separate hosts and configure Post Installation steps.
In this series of blog posts what we will see is:
Part1: Create Stack XML file for PO75 Java only System and download the necessary Software.
Part2: Install SCS.
Part3: Install Database Server
Part4: Install Primary Application server & Additional Instances.

2. Necessary File mounts are created.
3. S User exists with necessary permissions to download software.

Excellent Blog Satish !!! Waiting for your other blogs. Hope after this blogs being a developer I will have an end to end installation knowledge.
Hi Satish,
Quite a nice blog.
But, I am confused about your selection of Adobe Document Services for PO installation. Is it required or mandatory? Could you please explain?
Hi Satish,
For NW Process Orchestration systems, the following below product instances should select in maintenance Planner during stack.xml generation.
Adapter Engine (Java EE)
Advanced Adapter Engine Extnd
Application Server Java
BPM and Event Management
Composition Platform
But you didnt select the BPM and CP applications. Is this blog only for PI system installation as PO and PI are two different products.
PO = Process Orchestration is the new Java-only package which contains
- PI (Process Integration)
- BPM (Business Process Management)
- BRM (Business Rules Management)
PI (as you can see above) is only part of PO, however can still be used independently.
Thank you Satish !
Hi Satish
For the installation of a Process Orchestration system choose the following product instances, other required instances will be calculated automatically:
